That same morning................................in the Blood Mountain Pack in Georgia.
“Damn girl!” Future Beta Micheal Sutton playfully taunted from beside Warrior Bradley as they stood casually in his bedroom as the maid Marissa bent over to pick up her cleaning supplies. “An ass like that might make me go straight!” Future Beta Micheal chuckled as Marissa blushed and quietly left the room.
Warrior Bradley punched his close friend's arm playfully. ” Hey! I thought you liked my ass! Stop trying to make me jealous!"
Growling future Beta Micheal tackled Warrior Bradley.
Then, Micheal stripped Bradley and pinned him to the bed as he pulled out his thick hard c**k. Bradley’s c**k twitched as Micheal’s d**k grazed at his outer thigh.
After that, Micheal rolled Bradley onto his belly, head shoved into the pillow and buttocks in the air.
“I love your ass, Bradley.” Micheal admitted playfully and truthfully, giving Bradley’s meaty ass cheek a playful bite.
Micheal’s tongue flickered out to taste the puckered hole in the middle of Bradley’s buttocks.
Bradley could only gasp in sheer delight. “Oh! Yes! Yes! Oh! Please! Oh! Please, Yes!” Bradley moaned, biting at a pillow he held clenched in both fists as Micheal rimmed his ass.
Micheal quickly used his hands to spread Bradley’s ass wide while he kissed and sucked and worked the tender skin.
Moans of pleasure could be heard happily coming from both men.
Soon Bradley had a pillow under his stomach and another fist under his chin. His legs were spread apart, his *** in the air and Micheal knelt behind Bradley with arms wrapped around Bradley's thighs, tongue deep in his slathered hole.
Bradley's erect **** twitched against his leg, oozing pre-c*m that leaked down his thighs.
“I need you! Stop teasing!” moaned Bradley.
Micheal leaned over and opened the nightstand drawer, retrieving an already open box of condoms and a half empty tube of silicon-based lube.
Micheal pulled out, one of the foil-wrapped condoms out of the package and unrolled it down over his very long hard d**k.
After that, Micheal squeezed a healthy amount of lube along his length.
All the lube, in fact — Bradley heard the tube sputter before Micheal tossed it aside.
Next, Micheal eased his d**k into Bradley's ass inch by inch as a shudder passed through Bradley.
Warrior Bradley could not help but moan.” Ooh, yes! Ohh, yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Ohh, yes!"
Quickly, they found a steady rhythm — a controlled burn, a fan guaranteed to raise the fires of passion smothering within them from embers to a roaring inferno.

Later, both men walked into the master bathroom to take a shower together.
As the shower heads beat down on them with steamy hot water.
Micheal received a mind link from his mother, Bellamy." Son, make sure you are free to have lunch with everyone today regarding your estranged Aunt Luna Mira Sutton. She and her new chosen mate, Alpha Koda of the Red Dawn Pack, will be joining us. We need to support your father."
"Sure, Mother. But any idea what this visit is all about?" probed Micheal as he tried to ignore Bradley stroking his c**k.
"She is doing an apology tour, son. Presently, they are at your Grandmother Ora's house, then we are the next stop on the tour and the last stop is at the Albemarle Peninsula Wolf Pack. Where your cousins Pandora, Azora, Anora and Finn currently are." answered his mother, Bellamy, via the link.
"Interesting. This should be entertaining if nothing else. I will be there." expressed Micheal, before ending the mind link with his mother.
Bradley kissed Micheal's neck softly from behind in the shower.” Tell me something.” As Bradley built up the courage to ask the man he loved the one question he had been building up the nerve to ask him for months.
“Anything!” replied Micheal, turning around to face him in the shower.
“We have been friends forever. And I know we will always be friends no matter what. You already know that I only like guys and I know that you like boys and girls. We have been friends with benefits forever. We have fooled around, but you still refuse to date me or make it anything more serious because you are still waiting for your fate mate. But Micheal, you are 30 years old, you should have met her or him by now. What if you never do? What if we become chosen mates? We could adopt or use a surrogate when we get ready to build a family. I think we could be happy together. What do you think?" suggested Bradley, nervously biting his bottom lip.
“You wanted to be my chosen mate ?” asked Micheal, looking him in the eyes.
“Yes!” said Bradley softly.
“No! My wolf, Kane and I both wanted our fate mate. We are not willing to go against the Moon Goddess unless he or she is a human. Mating with a human will not make my bloodline stronger, only weaker. Besides, s*x with a fate mate is supposed to be the best s*x ever. I care for you, but I can't offer you a future. So stop hoping for something that is never going to happen. I am not going to lie to you and lead you on. That's not my style.” admitted Micheal firmly.
“I understand.” responded Bradley, sadly.
"Maybe we should stop hanging out for a while. I don't want to be unfair." added Micheal, giving him an out.
"No! Maybe! I don't know. I really care about you but I get it. I am ready to settle down and, if not with you, then with someone else's son. Listen, maybe we should both travel to other packs to find our mates after the Annual Mating Ball if we have no luck at the Ball. Maybe, the last time we looked they weren't old enough, or maybe they were in smaller packs. We never bothered to visit any of the smaller packs previously." mentioned Bradley.
"You are right! We didn't. We should. I want you to be happy. You deserve someone that can give you everything that you want in this lifetime." conveyed Micheal in a serious tone.

A few hours later............................in the Albemarle Peninsula Wolf Lake Pack
"Dad....what the hell is going on around here? What happened to me? I don't feel right. My wolf is hurt and upset." conveyed Alpha Rhett as he tried to sit up in the bed as his parents and Head Elder Charles Astor, along with Elder Blackstone, entered his private hospital room.
"Son, the Elder Council sent Head Elder Charles Astor along with Elder Blackstone, a good Head witch named Hazel Renee to aid our pack. Plus, Alpha William arrived late last night. They are all still in our territory. A lot has happened since you passed out last night." expressed his father, Alpha Noah, not looking forward to being the bearer of bad news.
"What? A witch ...why?" asked Alpha Rhett in shock.
"The witch and our pack doctor confirmed that you were placed under a love spell. Your feelings for Ivy Brooks were due to this love spell. And before you ask.... I, Alpha, commanded Ivy. She confessed to the crime. Ivy had you drink a love potion in a glass of brandy years ago. In addition, Ivy's most recent gift of the tiger's tooth necklace was only to keep you attached to her and to help fight against your Moon Goddess-gifted mate bonds. Ivy didn't want to lose her opportunity to be Luna of our pack. As a result, it badly affected your ability to sense and nurture your mate bonds with twin sisters Finn and Anora." explained Alpha Noah in a very serious fatherly tone.
"Really....two fate mates...I don't understand how Ivy could do that to me." murmured Alpha Rhett more to himself than anyone else.
"Both were supposed to be yours. But unfortunately, you were only able to feel Finn, the eldest sister. Your mate bond with Anora was too weak. We believe that, due to the fact she is a half-breed with no wolf, along with the witch's meddling on Ivy's behalf, it played a large part in damaging the mate bond. Nonetheless, Anora was unable to recognize the mate bond as well until the betrayal pains came her way too. At which point, Anora went to our temple to end her suffering." stated his mother as the tears fell down her face. This visit wasn't what she had hoped and prayed for in that moment.
"Wait! I don't understand how Anora could sever our mate bond without my acceptance". voiced Alpha Rhett as he mind-linked Beta Royce to report to his hospital room immediately.
"During a full moon, a mate bond that is weak can be if the bloodline holds favor with the Moon Goddess and another stronger fate mate is waiting in alignment to step in." explained Elder Blackstone to the horror of Alpha Rhett.
"If it helps, Finn still wants you. Finn doesn't blame you. Finn understands that you were bewitched and wasn't acting under your own will. However, Anora isn't interested in sharing a mate with her sister, Finn, for any reason. In addition, Anora has made it abundantly clear that she doesn't want any part of this love triangle you find yourself engulfed in. Plus, it seems that Alpha William is her second chance mate. They have accepted each other. We found out this morning at breakfast." indicated his mother.
"So will Finn go to Alpha William if I don't fix this as well?" demanded Alpha Rhett as he tried to wrap his head around his current situation. He could not understand how things could get this ...out of control in less than 72 hours.
"Probably." admitted Elder Blackstone.
"I refuse to lose both of my mates to him." growled Alpha Rhett, fuming.
"The Elder Council sent Head Elder Charles Astor along with Elder Blackstone here to ensure fairness, diplomacy and the best interests for the survival of our kind are upheld. Therefore, no one else is allowed to reject anyone else or they will be imprisoned. Secondly, all couples endanger of rejecting each other will be sent away to Love Island for a total of one year under the watchful eye and support of the Elder Council. They will be provided with counseling services and arranged "quality time". At the end of one year, if the couple decides to reject the mate bond, it will be allowed by the Elder Council." reported his mother.
" Fear not! You have 30 days to win Anora back if you want, but she has to willingly want to recant the rejection. A lot can happen in thirty days." advised his father, Alpha Noah.
"Thanks....your right. A lot can." said Alpha Rhett firmly.
"We are here to support you any way we can, son." expressed his mother, as his father agreed as well.
" Thanks! Did Ivy really trick me?" inquired Alpha Rhett, sounding truly hurt. He thought, if nothing else, they were truly friends.
But friends wouldn't use black magic on each other.
"Yes! Son! Plus, we have a bigger problem regarding Ivy. " revealed Alpha Noah.
"What, Dad?" gasped Alpha Rhett.
"She is pregnant. Four weeks along." replied Alpha Noah to his only child.
"What?" yelled Alpha Rhett, trying to get out of bed but was forced to lay back down.
"Unfortunately, due to the state of the werewolf community, the Elder Council has banned all abortions for any reason. They want you, Ivy and Finn, to go to Love Island to see if, under the watchful eye and support of the Elder Council, a peaceful co-Luna relationship can be attained. Or for Finn to at least agree to raise the unborn pup as her own. After Ivy gives birth, she will be sent away to serve a ten-year prison sentence. If forgiveness can be granted on both sides, the prison sentence could be reduced to 43,800 community service hours. The Elder Council will send the three of you away in seven days after a full recovery." admitted his father, Alpha Noah.
"What? I want to speak with Ivy, Finn and Anora for myself. And I want Alpha William to get the hell off my land. I don't want him here on my land waiting around for me to fail so he can scoop in." growled Alpha Rhett, upset that his life was a mess, and he was being forced to leave his beloved pack in order to fix his love life.
Alpha Rhett had always prided himself on being a gentleman and a good and fair leader.
"Son...he has agreed to leave after dinner with Pandora, his father, Alpha Koda, along with his new step-mother Luna Mira." voiced his mother.
"Alpha Rhett.... please know you risk Anora leaving with him. The girls like him and support their relationship already. Plus, Anora made it very clear she wasn't interested in sharing a mate with Finn. Finn wants to fix your mate bond. She is a forgiving soul, but I don't know how Finn will react to adding a baby into the mix. Nonetheless, Anora will definitely see it as the nail in your coffin. She won't want any part of this circus. Anora will see it as proof that she made the right decision to end the mate bond. I know Pandora will go with her." admitted Beta Royce as he entered the hospital room and joined the conversation.
"I need answers. Besides, I want my pup. Please bring Ivy in here and ask Finn and Anora to come speak with me privately. I have to try to get all three ladies to go to the island with me." stated Alpha Rhett, firmly not ready to give up hope yet.
"Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you." voiced Beta Royce as he exited out of the room to carry out his Alpha's orders.
